The show—which features discussions among various public figures with a barbershop as a backdrop—first debuted in 2016 and has had a few online episodes for UNINTERRUPTED:

"This show is real, it's candid and it's the essence of conversation," James said. "And we know with social media and text being the way people communicate, the form of conversation, actually talking, is kind of lost art."

He showed he isn't afraid to touch on personal topics, either, and even discussed his son, LeBron James Jr.:
